In order to get the RP thing rolling, I'll put down a profile for my character, now that there's space. If a dedicated sub-board were to appear at some point, moving it to there would be appreciated. This is my character summarised, to concisely explain it for newcomers or veterans.
Basics first.
Name: Lego1999boyathome. Alias: 1999.
Appearance description: Generally wears eastern-inspired clothes. Dark Grey like my old Message Board Avatar. Resembles the Wrothian Light armour set from Xenoblade Chronicles 2, although the armoured parts are along the sides of the torso. Wears an helmet for formal occasions, and shorts all the time. Even in winter. His right hand is also non-Lego like since the moving day arc - it's got fingers and is covered in a black and red substance. A thin armlet is worn on the right wrist.
Personality: Hot-headed at times, and enjoys fighting as a stress-reliever. Usually honorable and will adjust his armament to match a situation despite usually having some method of resolving a conflict tucked away somewhere. Tends to prefer time alone whilst relaxing, and spends a lot of time studying or training in his cabinet, his mobile base of operations.
Likes: The Cabinet. Training. Swords (a lot). Collecting rare and/or powerful artifacts.
Dislikes: People messing or breaking into the Cabinet. Conflicts that he cannot resolve, at least in part. Disruption plays (tends to lead to him attempting to punish the disruptor.)

Looks good! You do like your cabinet quite a bit. :-P How have the repairs been going? :-P

Looks good! You do like your cabinet quite a bit.  How have the repairs been going? In fairness, I don't use summoning or hammerspace or the like, so I do need somewhere to keep all the craziness :-P . Besides, it's a neat gimmick and limitation and gives us something to work around. Plus, more character interactions are nice. As for repairs, I assume you mean that virus/hacking fiasco. That's going to be explained later - Computer (and by extension the Cabinet) will get their own section in a bit where I go over what happened with that in more detail. |

And now for the juicy bit: powers, skills and the like.
Abilities:
Immense physical ability: In terms of raw physical power, 1999 is hard to match - having battled entire armies without much sweat twice in the RP.
Varied ability draw: unlike the other members, 1999 does not draw all his abilities from Nintendo. Generally, they are where his moves and most weapons are derived, but the energies to do so and his teleportation are not. (OoC: This is because in real life, I'm interested in more general gaming, but have little loyalty to most actual developers, except for Nintendo. My two gaming platforms are PC (unaffiliated) and Switch after all).
Teleportation and speed: after the Zebes arc, 1999 added some extra abilities, the most notable being a mimicry of Vergil from DMC's 'Dark Slayer style'. This increases his speed and allows him to teleport. He can replace side or back-steps, jumps (or a double-jump) or landing with a quick teleport called a 'tele-step'. He can also do this further so long as he uses the style's signature summoned blades as a beacon - though not being DMC powered, he can only manage one small kunai dagger for now.
Weaponry skill: Can use most weapon types with moderate to high-level skill, and pick up new ones quickly. Notably, he was able to use the Keyblade to a strong degree after a short time training with it.
Expert swordsman: despite skill with most weapons, he prefers swords, and generally has a higher skill level with such weapons.
Music: A good musician, apparently, although this rarely become relevant :-P .
Weaknesses:
Near-total lack of sorcery: As it says on the tin, his abilities to manipulate the world around him are limited to being able to inexplicably summon musical equipment. Aside from that, he must rely entirely on his martial prowess and the Cabinet to get by, as well as his present equipment. Subsequently, he cannot make or break the rules of engagement nearly as easily as his counterparts, leaving him at their whims to fight.
Equipment-dependant: Although training has somewhat mitigated this, 1999 is still strongly reliant on having a weapon. In the Zebes Arc, where the majority of his arsenal was removed, he was almost completely helpless. Today, if disarmed, he can summon a kunai, but this limits him as he would be unable to use longer-range teleports. Besides, it's too fragile to block with.

If it's OK, I'll make one like this sometime =P Honestly, we really do need to clarify what abilities we've got in the RP, so I support this =P

(Points to the fact that we are now getting RP subforms) :-P
Also, we already have a LANRP subform! And why don't we move this to a profile achive there? :-P

That was sort of the idea to get people involved to make these. According to the Reconstruction Committee I made, plan seems to be to have separate sections for the club chatroom and the RP's, which gives us a place to put these. I'm just putting it here because that place doesn't exist yet :-P . |

Should we continue our RPs in the LANRP or LANFC events? :-P

Should we continue our RPs in the LANRP or LANFC events? That's probably best discussed in the LANF reconsturction committee thread. This is just a character profile WIP waiting to be moved :-P . |

I... forgot to make any description :-P . Better do that now then.
Description:
Lego1999boyathome could be described as the 'warrior' of the group. Certainly, he's a fair bit more eager to fight than his peers. He acts as Spiderboy's rival/archenemy due to generally being aligned to a somewhat 'Chaotic good'. Unlike the other Fanclub members, who meet in the club day-to-day, he lives in it... or rather, he lives in his Cabinet, a pocket dimension, of which its portal in and out (in the form of a large and unreasonably durable weapons cabinet) normally resides somewhere within theClubhouse. This cabinet behaves as a 'discount TARDIS' meets Area 51. You see, 1999's job is to explore the multiverse and secure potentially dangerous artifacts should they deviate from the normal plot of their world, after they become irrelevant, or occasionally if that individual must travel without it and retrieve it later, its sometimes kept within for safekeeping. As a consequence of having to deal with all manner of dangerous artifacts (and/or guardians), 1999 has become an immensely capable fighter, but his travels came with a cost: due to spending so much time out of his native realities, he has lost the majority of his ability to manipulate them. In other words, he cannot use the sorcery or reality-manipulation many of the others can. However, he does not regret this too much (although being reminded of it sometimes makes him mope), as constructing his Cabinet was huge undertaking achieved mostly by hand, and he takes great pride in the multitude of laboratories, containment facilities and security systems involved... which, inexplicably and to his dismay, the other members of the fan club have absolutely no difficulty disregarding. :-P .
Extra:
Is the closest thing to being a serious character in this place. That's the joke.
Makes odd architectural choices, such as the kitchen being half an hour's walk away, and the manual interfaces with the Cabinet's supercomputer being nigh-impossible to find.
Despises cheese, despite it being the traditional victory celebration of the fanclub, but is too embarrassed to mention it. (OoC: I actually hate cheese in real life, which is why I decided to put this :-P )
Recently added a subroutine wherin the Computer charges him rent and spends the money on food and life support, as otherwise he would likely forget to buy them. Despite being a necessity and receiving a large danger fee for his job, he still grumbles about it.
Has a habit of arriving late to fanclub events, despite the proximity of his 'house'.

What about Bubbles? I haven't forgotten him don't worry. He'll probably crop up in the Cabinet section, since that's where he spends most of his time. :-P |

And now, the most confusing part: the Cabinet itself.
Description:
In an alternate space, there is a huge facility for storing dangerous artefacts, weapons and other relics. The only link to the real world is a large weapons cabinet. This is the Cabinet, 1999's 'house' and base of operations. The cabinet also contains his two companions, his somewhat sarcastic Supercomputer (creatively named Computer) and 23 metre long Spaniel in the shape of a Mizutsune from Monster Hunter named Bubbles (Note: not actually a Spaniel, this is a comment on Bubbles temperament).
Notes: the Cabinet is a surprisingly colossal place, that contains basically anything 1999 will need. Thus, it replaces his lost ability to summon, as he can generally acquire resources from it. However, it is primarily a secure containment facility, and consequently contains heaps of security systems that are capable of dealing with most, if not all invasions... so long as they aren't members of the Fan Club. Bizarrely, even in maximum security modes, it is unable to repel them - much to 1999 and Computer's confusion (and irritation).

Computer get's their own profile :-D
Description: A slightly-sarcastic computer that operates in the cabinet. Of similar advancement to a Megaman Robot master in terms of AI.
Abilities:
Processing power: as with most supercomputers, Computer acts as 1999's data processer, working on the results of studies and managing the facility.
Software and Hardware assimilation: A feature that was added early on, but only recently featured, Computer can assimilate any software trying to download information, be it one or two-way. This works by sending a computer virus into the system which copies the software, uploads the copy to Computer, then deletes the original. This acts as a useful deterrent against data thieves. Hardware can also be assimilated, although that has to be installed manually, and is more similar to being upgraded - the ability just circumvents compatibility issues and having up-to-date drivers. This also applies to viruses, acting as a sort of 'Immune system' of sorts.
Evolutionary algorithm: Computer's OS uses an evolutionary algorithm - a required secondary ability to the above. For computer to implement new hardware or software fully, it's linked with the system through one of these.
Weaknesses:
Vulnerable to novel computer viruses: Unrecognised viruses or software can bypass Computer's firewalls just like any antivirus. Although Computer can self-repair due to the above abilities, this takes time.
Algorithm processing load: running the evolutionary algorithm is extremely processing-intensive, causing Computer's abilities to suffer whilst it's running. Already running programs take priority over the algorithm, but the algorithm prevents new routines from being activated until it's done.

BUBBLES!
Description: Bubbles is a Mizutsune from outside Yukumo Village from Monster Hunter, and was adopted by 1999 after he took part in a Lagiacrus hunt in the area, since he noticed a nearby, empty, Mizutsune nest. After being neutered to prevent him going crazy during mating season (what with Bubbles being male), Bubbles was brought into the Cabinet and grew up to be quite big and strong - in fact, he's Gold-crown size (23 metres) and G-rank strong! Doesn't stop him from behaving like a doggy... which would be odd considering he's a Leviathan and more similar biologically to an Elder Dragon* or sea serpent, but then again, Mizutsune are also based on foxes, and he's been domesticated most of his life.
Abilities:
Mizutsune: Although domesticated now, he was old enough to have engaged in play-fighting with any siblings he may have had, meaning he's learned normal Mizutsune abilities and attacks, including pressurised water jets spewed from his mouth.
Trained: Unlike most Mizutsune, Bubbles has been trained by his Master, and is more savvy even than a normal G-rank Mizutsune. He can also take orders, either verbal or whistled.
Bubblefoam: this takes particular consideration. Bubblefoam is a substance produced by all Mizutsune in the fur on the bottom of their bodies, and is an odd and unique mix of chemicals which is somehow both incredibly lubricating and adhesive, leading to it nearly impossible to move without slipping or falling over when standing on a well-lathered surface, or worse, covered in it yourself. Bubbles has been trained to lather tripped foes with his tail to achieve this effect, and not to attack people covered in the stuff, as that usually knocks the stuff off (although falling over has no effect. Which is unfortunate given how often it happens). Of course, the standard two-hits from bubbles are enough to inflict bubbleblight, as it's known.
Co-ordination: not particularly Bubble's ability as such, but he and 1999 have lived with each other for a long time, so they're quite close. Subsequently, they have enough idea of what the other's about to do to tend to be in the right place to assist. Additionally, 1999 can move when covered in bubblefoam due to this. It becomes difficult to turn, but he can reach great speeds. The method seems simple, but is incredibly nuanced, and impossible to mimic without proper assistance - which, no, he isn't willing to give.
Fun fact:
All of Bubbles's fish is caught from an aquarium in the Cabinet, and in fact, is usually caught by 1999 himself. Despite it easily being within his power to catch them via automation (indeed a system is in place for when he's out), but he does it anyway since he doesn't mind putting himself at an inconvenience for Bubbles.
*Mizutsune are noted to be quite biologically similar to Amatsumagatsuchi, Elder Dragons that live nearby. It's unclear precisely what the link is, however.
